Friends series has a cult status. For millions of fans, it has served as a kind of psychotherapy, giving them happy and touching moments. The main characters' images have become household names, and have also served as the basis for memes and funny videos.
True fans will easily remember everything about the series: from the setting of the legendary coffee shop to the first notes in the intro. But the actor who plays one of the main roles has something that irritates him terribly in Friends.
What David Schwimmer doesn't like about Friends
The actor who played Ross Geller in the legendary sitcom unexpectedly admitted his dislike for the famous title theme of the series. David Schwimmer said that for ten years of listening to the soundtrack at the beginning of each episode drove him crazy.
"I hate this song. "Now, when I hear it, my fists clench reflexively," the actor admitted on the podcast "Making a Scene."
Schwimmer's comment sparked a heated discussion on social media. Some viewers supported the actor, saying that the music could really get boring after so many episodes. Others were outraged by such an attitude towards the series, which still remains the greatest success in the actor's career. And still others suggested that this was hidden irony.
Soundtrack of the TV series Friends
In 1994, the producers of Friends wanted a memorable theme song that would convey the spirit of the series, lightness, friendship and the atmosphere of the 90s. To do this, they turned to the Philadelphia rock band The Rembrandts, known for the hit Just the Way It Is, Baby.
The musicians created the composition together with the writers of Friends. This is how the hit I'll Be There for You was created. The first version lasted only 40 seconds - this version was heard in the first seasons. After the explosion of popularity of the series, the group added verses and released the full version. The composition became the main soundtrack of the 90s.
